_Wizard that lets you create new script files with useful templates, automatic namespaces, and asmdef/asmref support._ ## About the Project Creating a new script is kind of a chore. Especially creating an editor script, and especially if you have asmdefs in your project. You just want to make a simple custom inspector but now you have to: - Create a new Editor folder next to the original script - Create a new Editor script probably by duplicating an existing one (waiting for recompilation...) and then moving it (recompiling again...) - Then you rename the file, rename the class and update the `[CustomEditor]` attribute above it. - If you use asmdefs, you now also need to create a .asmref file that references the correct .asmdef. - Maybe there is no Editor.asmdef yet, so before all that you have to make a new one. - Make a new folder again - Create a dummy script because .asmdef folders can't be empty - Then create a new .asmdef - THEN you can make your .asmref TEDIOUS, I SAY This is what all of that looks like with the Create Script Dialog. Just right-click, `Create>Script...` and press Create: ![Example](https://github.com/RoyTheunissen/Create-Script-Dialog/raw/master/Documentation~/Example.gif) ## Getting Started - Right click a folder and select `Create>Script...` to open the dialog. - Fill in the namespace if the automatic suggestion is not to your liking. - Choose the appropriate template. It will automatically suggest an `Editor` or `PropertyDrawer` template if you right-clicked on an existing script. - Press Create and the file, folder and any .asmdef shenanigans will be taken care of. ![Screenshot](https://github.com/RoyTheunissen/Create-Script-Dialog/raw/master/Documentation~/Screenshot.PNG) ## Compatibility Older Unity versions haven't been tested thoroughly, but this tool has been around for a while so it'll probably work fine in older versions. ## Installation ### Package Manager Go to `Edit > Project Settings > Package Manager`. Under 'Scoped Registries' make sure there is an OpenUPM entry. If you don't have one: click the `+` button and enter the following values: - Name: `OpenUPM`
- URL: `https://package.openupm.com`
Then under 'Scope(s)' press the `+` button and add `com.roytheunissen`. It should look something like this:

All of my packages will now be available to you in the Package Manager in the 'My Registries' section and can be installed from there.
### Git Submodule You can check out this repository as a submodule into your project's Assets folder. This is recommended if you intend to contribute to the repository yourself. ### OpenUPM The package is available on the [openupm registry](https://openupm.com). It's recommended to install it via [openupm-cli](https://github.com/openupm/openupm-cli). ``` openupm add com.roytheunissen.createscriptdialog ``` ### Manifest You can also install via git URL by adding this entry in your **manifest.json** ``` "com.roytheunissen.assetpalette": "https://github.com/RoyTheunissen/Create-Script-Dialog.git" ``` ### Unity Package Manager ``` from Window->Package Manager, click on the + sign and Add from git: https://github.com/RoyTheunissen/Create-Script-Dialog.git ``` ## Acknowledgements This tool was originally created by Unity themselves many years ago. I was not satisfied with its functionality so around 2014 I added namespace support. The original tool has officially become deprecated but I have been using it all this time and gradually expanding it and improving it, and I've been getting a lot of value out of it over the years. I hope you will too. ## Contact [Roy Theunissen](https://roytheunissen.com) [roy.theunissen@live.nl](https://github.com/RoyTheunissen/Create-Script-Dialog/raw/master/mailto:roy.theunissen@live.nl)
